Thank's to Everyone

A special shout out and Thank you to all the folks from Denver, Colorado Springs,

Salida and surrounding area's who made the special effort to come in for

the Artist Reception and viewing on Saturday at the Fritz Restuarant in Salida.

In addition, thanks to my loving wife for all the hard work and pushing me 

to make it happen. Thanks sweetheart!! 

 Dwight, Grant and the team at The Fritz were amazing for the event.  The photo's will continue to show for the month of May.

 Appreciate the forty or so folks who made it in for cocktails and snacks. A great time was had, and numerous pieces were sold.

Floatfisher Photo Exhibit- May 2013

Certainly not something that I am accustom to, but I will be showing some of my photos during the month of

May in Salida, CO at the Fritz Restaurant. Photos on Canvas, aluminum and birchwood were hung this afternoon, and are now available for sale.

Just so happens that the show will coincide with the annual Mothers Day Caddis Hatch Festival.

A shout out to all my friends who helped make this happen and urged me on.

It's Time- Get it On!

Last Minute Edit- due to the  unexpected heavy pounding of snow we received, pretty much state-wide, you Had better pack a few of those crazy ass streamers you all have been twisting. Water is up the past few days, and a little off color, should be just the thing we are looking for!

We've practiced our ties all winter, we've talked about all the fishing were gonna do when it warms up?

Well if you are still talk and not fishing , you have been missing something very nice and special.

To bad to this point.

 Although not super strong the hatch is moving up the canyon, and on the good day, weather participating fishing can be special. Word to the wise, though, you should be armed with a variety of

flies to cover the vast food supply the fish have the feed on. Ever so prevalent are the midges, aquatic worms, although not something we typically imitate and use, baetis, caddis, stones, just to name a few.

 Although, caddis and baetis are the main attraction in April and may till the river is off color and blown out.

Better have a few of the Silvey's handy.

Crab Creek- The Second Half

 After lunch the fishing picked up right where it left off, more and often. 

 From time to time we came upon pod of rising fish, this happened to be one of those times when Mary

was in stealth mode, and sneaking on her prey.

 Poof, it payed off, a nice chunky little red band. Say hello to my little friend.

 Ms. Floatfisher even put her eye behind the lens, and captured this stellar photo of a very feisty rainbow that did not want to be hooked. Amazing shot.

 Fishing the "Cliffs" section of the Crabb. Extremely pretty spot.

 And the payoff, but even better than the slots.

One last hookup for the day. Just to end the trip with a SMILE.
